QuestionBalance the equation: $\mathrm{Ca}_{3}\left(\mathrm{PO}_{4}\right)_{2}(s)+\mathrm{SiO}_{2}(s)+\mathrm{C}(s) \rightarrow \mathrm{CaSiO}_{3}(s)+\mathrm{P}_{4}(s)+\mathrm{CO}(g)$ using smallest whole number coefficients.

Studdy Solution
We can see that the number of atoms of each element is now the same on both sides, so the equation is balanced.
The balanced equation is$$\mathrm{Ca}_{3}\left(\mathrm{PO}_{4}\right)_{2}(s)+3\mathrm{Si}_{2}(s)+10\mathrm{C}(s) \rightarrow3\mathrm{CaSi}_{3}(s)+\mathrm{}_{4}(s)+10\mathrm{CO}(g)$$
